The Wild from the new Simple Forces album Earthbound

Lyrics:

The deer turned and stared 
The sound of shoes and paws 
Triggered a response 
Its instincts made it pause 

We live outside the wild... 

The land we inhabit 
Is merely on loan 
The wild will reclaim it 
And everything we’ve sewn 

The border of our land 
A boundary between 
The present and the past 
The tamed and the extreme 

We live outside the wild... 

The land we inhabit 
Is merely on loan 
The wild will reclaim it 
And everything we’ve sewn 

On the coldest winter nights 
I see the panes of glass 
I thank those who had vision 
They accepted their mission 

The land that we inhabit 
Is merely on loan 
The wild will reclaim it 
And everything we’ve sewn 

We live outside the wild 
We live outside the wild...

The Wild

Lyrics:

Made of star dust 
Water, Metal, Rust 
Wood and stone 
Flesh and bone 

I’m earthbound... 

This sphere is home 
Beneath the blue dome 
So paper thin 
A fragile skin 

I’m earthbound... 

We must live 
We must die 
Nothing is forever 
Except sea and sky 

I’m earthbound... 

We must live 
We must live 


Earthbound

Perception, from the new Simple Forces album Earthbound. Watch the lyric video: https://youtu.be/20zcEy4aZSk

Lyrics:

Truth or fiction 
It's not always clear 
People only say 
What they want you to hear 

What is real? 
What is real? 

Adjust the reception 
Change your perception 

Some see black and white 
Some see gray 
Some are willing to fight 
Over words we say 

What is real? 
What is real? 

Adjust the reception 
Change your perception 

Some use words 
To control or deceive 
But we’re all free 
By how we perceive 

Adjust the reception 
Change your perception 

Perception

Lyrics

How do you know
When you’ve found the one
Is there a way to prove
That your search is done

Feelings I can’t disguise
My heart beats fast 
When I see your green eyes

Love is hard to explain
Is it in the heart, or in the brain
Is it simple chemistry
Is it luck or destiny

Feelings I can’t disguise
My heart beats fast 
When I see your green eyes

So many years since we first met
Our feelings ebb and flow like tides
Even now a simple glance 
The same feelings I cant deny

Green Eyes

Lyrics: 

Everything has its limits
There’s a lot that we can take
If we ignore it too long
Eventually we break

You can’t bring it back
You can’t bring it back

Try to look the other way
Try to find the words to say
These events can’t be spun
The damage has been done

Now it’s broken
Now it’s broken
You can’t bring it back
Now it’s broken

Most of all I regret
Not letting do of the past
It will never be the same
But we must move on at last

Now it’s broken
Now it’s broken
You can’t bring it back
Now it’s broken


Broken

Another track from my new album Earthbound. I think of walking on a clear night when listening to this, I hope you enjoy it. It's also a song about embracing the "static" of life all around us, and how we relate to others.

Lyrics

The sound of the stars
Electrically charged
From the smallest spark
To lightning’s arc

Tune out the static
Tune out the static

I try to reach you
But the spark’s too strong
I try to hear you
But the frequency is wrong

The static can collect
It has the potential to disrupt
The way we try to connect 
The message can get corrupt

Tune out the static
Tune out the static

I try to reach you
But the spark’s too strong
I try to hear you
But the frequency is wrong

The sparks of life
Or the sound of space
The static is transformed
Without leaving a trace

Tune out the static
Tune out the static

I try to reach you
But the spark’s too strong
I try to hear you
But the frequency is wrong

Tune out the static

Static

Lyrics:

Point to Point
We keep moving 
From mundane tasks
Or theories proving

A journey for the heart
Or journey for the mind
We run to reach our goals
Or leave the past behind

Sometimes we cant decide
Which path we should take
There’s no perfect answer
For every move we make

Chaotic interactions or
Part of a master plan
From a single cell
To a thinking man

Chorus
Our journey has no beginning
Our journey has no end


Journey

Random Access: Lyrics

It’s early morning 
Staring at the ceiling 
The fan is turning 
My mind starts reeling 

The things I should have done 
Or wish I hadn’t said 

Random access 
A mind in duress 
Gotta let go 
Gotta think less 

I try to slow it down 
Tell myself I can't go back 
Guilt for things I didn’t do 
I didn’t take another track 

The things I should have done 
Or wish I hadn’t said 

Random access 
A mind in duress 
Gotta let go 
Gotta think less 

Alone with my thoughts 
Before another day 

The things I should have done 
Or wish I hadn’t said 

Random access 
A mind in duress 
Gotta let go 
Gotta think less

Random Access

Lyrics: 

The things we want
The thing we need
A mad obsession
The drive to succeed

Our minds are racing
Our minds are racing

Not long ago
The days passed slow
Now the moments run together
Helpless in the flow

My mind is racing
My mind is racing

We tell ourselves
We won’t do it again
One more time
And this will be the end

We tell ourselves
We won’t do it again
One more time
And this will be the end

The tools of the trade
A comforting charade
The fear that one day
I’ll have nothing to say

My mind is racing
My mind is racing

We tell ourselves
We won’t do it again
One more time
And this will be the end

We tell ourselves
We won’t do it again
One more time
And this will be the end

One More Time

Simple Forces is the music of bassist Chuck Cote; #IndieRock that ignores the will of the tastemakers while still capturing the hearts and minds of nerds everywhere. And I mean nerd in the best way possible.
